No doubt this is an easy question, but is there a way of interfacing to
the
web via HF SSB/data?
I want to be able to do this from a remote location portable/backpack with
no mobile phone access and low power. The nearest infrastructure could be
several hundred km away
I could use amateur bands or possibly a commercial solution if available.
What would be the data format and where would I get more info on this?
Thanks
Richard
I'm aware of a service that provides e-mail on commercial HF frequencies to
safari camps in Botswana from a base in Johannesburg in South Africa.
AFAIK
they use Pactor. Many of these camps are several hundred miles from the
nearest phone line.
